Rodrygo renews with Real Madrid until 2028

Rodrygo Goes has renewed his contract with Real Madrid until 2028, with a salary increase and a termination clause of 1 billion euros.

The agreement was reached weeks ago, as MARCA published on July 4, and pen has now been put to paper.

There is no date for the announcement, which could even be delayed until after their summer tour.

The move proves the club's confidence in the young Brazilian.

The commitment, extending his original contract by three more seasons, rewards not only Rodrygo's work and attitude, but also the tangible results of that progression: his end of the 2021/22 season was spectacular.

Since April, in the decisive stretch of the season, he scored seven goals and provided three assists in 13 appearances.

Three of those goals helped his team to their 14th Champions League: the goal that forced extra time in the quarter-final second leg against Chelsea and the brace that took Carlo Ancelotti's side into extra time in the semi-finals against Manchester City, all with Real Madrid on the brink of the abyss.

After having enjoyed his holidays, without neglecting his physique, Rodrygo approaches pre-season with the aim of establishing himself in the starting line-up.

It won't be easy, but he is currently ahead of Marco Asensio who has an uncertain future at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.

This will be the forward's fourth season with the club and after five titles (one Champions League, two LaLiga titles and two Spanish Super Cups), he is also looking ahead to what looks set to be his first World Cup.
